Chapter 97 Haunted High School (31)
A few minutes ago.
Tian Jiawen, the big sister, finally arrived at the boundary of her area.
She was actually a little bit directionally challenged, but she was too embarrassed to tell Su Yue. She even ended up walking back to where Su Yue and Cang Zhi were. She quickly retreated in embarrassment.
Tian Jiawen checked the map and the landmarks several times before he found the boundary of the area where he was.
There was a pair of brothers among the players this time. Tian Jiawen noticed them on the first day. It was unfortunate that two close friends were involved in the game, but it was also lucky to some extent because they had a backing that they could absolutely trust.
This is also the reason why Tian Jiawen envied Su Yue and Cang Zhi.
When Tian Jiawen walked over, the two brothers were roasting fire on the border and praying to the gods.
The president asked everyone to keep the posture of asking the spirit to pray for the school. No one dared to disobey this request because no one wanted to be the first one to be "descended" by the spirit of the pen.
When Tian Jiawen walked over, she was still very far away, but her younger brother was the first to react. He turned his head and looked at her with a cold gaze, not hiding his hostility at all.
It can be seen that among the two brothers, the younger brother has sharper senses and may be playing a reconnaissance role.
"I have no ill intentions." Tian Jiawen raised his hand, maintaining a gesture of utmost sincerity, and walked towards the two people. "I want to discuss an alliance with you."
Although the brothers were highly wary, they didn't harbor any hostility towards outsiders. After a brief discussion, they allowed Tian Jiawen to approach. When Tian Jiawen informed the brothers of Su Yue's strategy of "forming an alliance and maintaining contact, and he would help lure out the monsters," their expressions darkened, but they didn't immediately object.
"Brother, what do you think?" asked the younger brother.
The elder brother didn't say anything and was obviously thinking. The younger brother stood up while his brother was thinking. It seemed like he was just standing there casually, but in fact he was protecting his brother's sides, back, and all other directions where he might be exposed.
If someone attacks while my brother is concentrating on thinking, he will immediately fight back.
It can be seen that these brothers have a strong fighting tacit understanding.
Tian Jiawen waited patiently. She was not a combat-oriented player, so she was already accustomed to initiating alliances, waiting, and finding ways to gain trust.
In fact, Tian Jiawen’s health was not very good. He entered the survival game because he was once so sick that he almost died in the hospital.
Now, although I have gained a much stronger physique than before thanks to several clearances, and I can finally dye my hair in different colors to look cool as I always wanted, I am still a weakling compared to the combat players who have been staying in survival games for years.
After waiting for a long time, the brother finally raised his head and stared at Tian Jiawen: "Your proposal is indeed very tempting, but what can Su Yue gain from cooperating with us?"
Tian Jiawen was stuck.
She knew in her heart that Su Yue just wanted everyone to survive, but this was illogical to many survival game players. If she said that, the brothers would definitely not believe her and would put her in danger as well.
"Because if everyone can work together, the success rate of fighting against the Pen Fairy will increase." Tian Jiawen quickly came up with an excuse, "If everyone is scattered in different areas, the probability of being defeated individually will increase."
The elder brother was silent for a moment, narrowing his eyes and staring at Tian Jiawen solemnly: "But if according to what you said, he can easily defeat the Pen Fairy, why should we care about the success rate of fighting against the Pen Fairy? You can't say that he wants us all to survive, right?"
Tian Jiawen made up his mind: "That's it."
As her brother's eyes darkened, she gritted her teeth and continued, "We weren't originally enemies. Maintaining as much fighting power as possible is the key to getting through the next few days. It's only been four days, and we're about to fall apart. That's terrible."
My brother stopped talking again.
His thinking seemed like a skill, and he would fall silent for long periods of time. During this time, Tian Jiawen could only wait. She had no idea how much time had passed, and it was difficult to look down at her phone. While he was wary of her, she was also wary of both of them. Who knew if they would suddenly go crazy and stab her?
My brother finally raised his head and said slowly, "It's not impossible, but——"
His words stopped abruptly, and he looked up suddenly. As if by magic, a crowbar appeared in his brother's hand, and he immediately took a defensive posture. This must be a weapon he found at school.
Tian Jiawen immediately reached for the utility knife hidden in his pocket and pushed the blade out with his thumb.
This is her self-defense weapon.
Because they all felt the sudden bone-chilling cold and the cold wind that blew across the earth like a ghost's hand.
It was originally cloudy, and the weather suddenly turned cold. Small ice crystals, half rain and half snow, fell sparsely from the sky.
Just like half an hour ago.
The Pen Fairy is coming again.
This time, the Pen Fairy did not descend upon Tian Jiawen and the others, but no one dared to let their guard down. Because they had a common enemy, the three of them subconsciously formed an allied posture. At the intersection of the three areas, each person stood in their own area, back to back, forming a triangle facing outward, to resist all possible risks.
Until they all heard the sudden scream.
"Someone died," said my brother.
His voice was cold and old-fashioned, like a death knell ringing in the pale snow.
"It's about two or three areas away from us." Tian Jiawen suppressed his sympathy for the poor player and made a calm assessment. "It should be in the middle of the woods."
"Snap."
In a location visible to everyone, the first light in the wooden tower went out.
The wooden tower where the president of the Summoning Immortals Society resides is in the middle of the woods, high up where everyone can see it. Along the fence around the outside of the wooden tower, there are seven lights lit in a row.
The lamp that went out happened to be the one facing the direction of Tian Jiawen and the others.
Now the sky is overcast and there is no moon. Once the lights go out, the whole place becomes dim in an instant.
The woods in the distance suddenly became ghostly shadows hidden in the darkness, and even the facial features of the brothers nearby became dim and unclear.
"Why is the light out?" Tian Jiawen muttered.
"Because the people in that area died." said my brother.
"It makes sense, but it doesn't feel right," Tian Jiawen said. "Not every area had people in the first place."
Neither the elder brother nor the younger brother said anything, as if waiting for her analysis.
"In other words, each light doesn't correspond to an area, but to a person." Tian Jiawen pondered, frowning as he pondered, and spoke slowly. "If each light represents a person, then there are seven lights here, which means—"
When the big sister said this, she suddenly felt a strong premonition of danger, which made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.
She suddenly realized something and swung the utility knife in horror, quickly backing away.
At the same time, the two brothers who had been silent from the beginning suddenly jumped up and pounced on the big sister at the same time!
.
In a split second, the big sister suddenly realized the logic that "if all the people are killed, the Pen Fairy will not come."
She herself would not do it, but she knew very well that someone would do it, and it was this inference that allowed her to avoid the brothers' sudden attack at the critical moment.
She had to escape.
The big sister did not waste any time trying to convince the other party, because she knew that the other party only wanted to kill her, so she could only run desperately. Fortunately, although her fighting ability was not very good, she was still a good runner.
She rushed into her own area, thinking that she could at least hide in the trees for a while. Although she knew there were ghosts in the woods, she didn't care.
The ghost that didn't appear was not as scary as the person chasing her.
The Pen Fairy will descend again in half an hour. If the brothers are not in their own area by then, they will be punished by the Pen Fairy first. So as long as they can hold on for half an hour, the big sister will get a brief respite. By then, she can find a stable hiding place in her own area and should be able to survive the night.
Just as she was thinking this, there was a sharp sound of breaking air behind her. The big sister turned around abruptly, and in her suddenly widened eyes, she saw a long rope with darts on it, like a poisonous snake, piercing through the night and heading towards her heart!
These brothers actually have registered "weapons"!
.
Players are not allowed to bring weapons into the game, so there are three ways to gain combat power: find a suitable weapon after entering the game, buy disposable props in the rest area, or use points to register your own weapons.
Registering a weapon with points requires at least 10,000 points, and this long rope requires at least 20,000 to 30,000 points. The brothers are players at the 4,000 point level, so they shouldn't have the luxury of this, but they have two people.
The points of two people added together are more than enough to register a weapon.
Not only was the rope long, it also had the ability to automatically locate enemies, and more importantly, it had a dart tied to the end. Even in the darkness, the dart glowed with purple phosphorescence, and even a fool would know it was coated with poison.
The advantages and disadvantages of this chase were suddenly reversed.
This rope is not very powerful in close combat, but it is perfect for chasing people. The big sister ran quickly in the jungle, and behind her, the long rope pressed over the grass on the roadside, making a rustling sound.
After all, she was just a human being with limited physical strength. She was no match for the two brothers, not to mention that there was a tireless rope chasing after her.
With the lights in the wooden tower extinguished, the woods were dark, and objects more than a few meters away were no longer visible.
She heard a very strange noise nearby, which was different from the sound of the rope and the brothers.
The president had said earlier that there was "something else" in the grove.
The big sister was so scared that she was almost going crazy, but she didn't dare to look back. She also ignored the noise coming from her ears, which might be an illusion.
She tried to focus all her attention on her feet and on escaping.
Her feet suddenly stopped and she stepped on a vine lying on the ground.
She lost her balance instantly and fell forward.
The big sister fell heavily to the ground. Fortunately, it was raining at that time, and the short grass on the ground was mixed with mud. She looked embarrassed when she fell, but it was not too painful.
The problem wasn't the pain, but that her feet were tripped. She struggled to turn over as quickly as possible and tried to get up.
But just as she turned around, she heard a sound of breaking air passing behind her head and rushing towards her chest!
It's over now.
The poison dart flashed with a cold purple light and came towards her chest, as if in slow motion in her sight. The eldest sister's mind was a little blank. The feeling before death made her recall the moment when she was lying on the hospital bed. She was also not thinking about anything and had no way to resist.
The moment Fangkong lost his active defense, a faint noise sounded in his mind. The communication system that had been disconnected for a long time finally reconnected, and a question suddenly rang in his mind:
It was Su Yue's voice, very familiar but different from usual, with a kind of coldness that seemed to look down on all living beings.
"Are you willing to give me all your trust?" Su Yue asked.
The moment she recognized the voice, the eldest sister answered without hesitation: "I do."
She didn't know why she trusted Su Yue so much, just like mortals trust the gods they believe in. At that moment, Su Yue's voice did have a kind of superior and alluring power.
The moment she answered yes, a strange warmth surged from her heart.
.
The dart whistled towards her chest, but the moment it struck the Big Sister, it was violently deflected by the golden light emanating from her body. The dart collided with the golden light, making a clanging sound like the sound of metal clashing. The Big Sister was dizzy and coughed violently, but miraculously, she was not injured.
The dart flashing with purple light spun, broke into two pieces, and stuck into the muddy ground with a "snap".
The eldest sister stared at the dart in amazement. She was still frightened but also extremely grateful.
When I wanted to talk to Su Yue again, the conversation had already ended.
【All Living Beings】is one of Su Yue’s skills as a god.
After gaining the other party's full trust, you can share the attacks that the other party should have borne.
In another area, a bruise, neither light nor severe, appeared on Su Yue's fair and thin arm.
He shook his hands, frowned, twirled the earring that was frantically calling the police, and said calmly, "Don't scream."
